An important United Nations annual summit on endangered wildlife species is being held in Geneva, Switzerland.
At its inauguration, experts warned of the dire consequences of wildlife trade.
They point out that nature will suffer an unprecedented and dangerous decline.
Several countries in the world have joined in this agreement to prevent the international trade of endangered species of animals and plants.
This convention is known as CITES.
With the aim of identifying, listing and controlling international trade in threatened flora and fauna as a result of international trade in their homelands, the SAITS Convention has been in force since March 3, 1973, in order to control the international trade. The signing of the agreement will take place.
There are 183 countries with permanent membership.
Representatives from those countries are attending the conference.
The 10-day conference will feature 56 proposals for changes in the protection of species such as elephants, giraffes, rhino sharks, crocodiles and tortoises.
Mineral resources such as rosewood are also considered.
The Secretary General and the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program were present at the opening of the conference.
This year’s convention’s agenda includes the fate of mako sharks, rhinos and precious woods used to make musical instruments.
Special attention will be given to African elephants.
